The interior contains a varied collection of sewing and craft materials, including an assortment of cotton thread on wooden and plastic spools, notably bearing the Sylko brand name. Further contents include a red-handled pair of craft scissors, a vintage Old Holborn tobacco tin used for storage, a roll of white twine, and a partially worked needlepoint canvas depicting a bird. The collection also features a greeting card portraying a Yorkshire Terrier and assorted ribbons and elasticated bands stored in plastic bags.
